Dec 10, 2005 Lime orange citrus hops greet the nose along with toasty, biscuity underlying malts. Lightly hazy blonde body is topped by a low white head that recedes to ring with some lacing. Lime, orange, citrus, resiny hop flavour is lightly catty in character with assertive bitterness and decent, sweet caramel and toasty supporting malt base. Medium light body with lively carbonation. Sampled at GABF 2005.

Dec 7, 2005 Sampled at Argo and Kathy’s 2006 Holiday Gathering. Clear copper with a thick off-white head. Very intense woody, pine aroma. Flavor has notes of pine sap, grapefruit, toasted malt and caramel. Very bitter grapefruit-rind finish. Full body with subtle carbonation. Quite enjoyable.

Dec 7, 2005 Pours amber with a thin head. Aroma is a huge citrus hop bomb. Flavor is huge citrus and pine hops, the malt is overpowered buy the hops but still shows up and is not to thin.

Dec 5, 2005 Handbottled at A&K 4th DC tasting: Hazed gold hue with a small lasting head and minimal lace. The aroma has notes of piney and leafy hops, bready malts, pepper, and a bit soapy. The taste has a bitter smack with a buttered white bread background supported by a bit of a flowery and dusty yeast undertone. Some moderate citric notes towards the finish. The feel is crisp and sharp but also very astrengent and metallic. Just okay, honestly disappointing.

Dec 5, 2005 Bottle... A&K’s4thAHBT... Hazy, golden ale with a small, off-white head. Smells like liquid dish soap. To be more specific, it smells like Palmolive aroma therapy liquid dish soap with essences of lavender and ylang ylang. Perfume too. Nice, actually, but strange. I was at a beer tasting, so I was careful to only rinse my glass with tap water, no soap. Still, there it was... liquid dish soap wafting up my nose. Soapy flavor as well... bitterness, perfume and all. Full-bodied and way oily with lively carbonation. Finishes moderately bitter and dry. A strange bird, this one.

Dec 5, 2005 Handbottled: Yellow-amber body with tiny particles visable floating around, with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus & pine hops. Taste is salty hops (Actually very similar to the house yeast character of Pizza Port), pine cones, dry hop pellets, yeast, and citrus. Medium bodied, low carbonation, sticky.

Nov 9, 2005 Sunset orange color. Vibrant and enjoyable hop aroma which seems to be in the lemon, citrus, pine type way. Strawberry in the aroma as well. Solid hop flavor from the front palate. Creamy, sweet malty body, which hints of caramel. Outrageously bitter all the way through. A true, enjoyable DIPA.
